AP825337 - Woolworths (South Australia and Northern Territory) Award, 2003
No employee who was employed under the Retail Instore Bakehouse Award (South Australian Industrial Relations Commission) as at the operative date of this clause, shall be disadvantaged as a result of the variation to this Award to make the Australian Liquor, Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers’ Union (Baking and Sales Section) a party to the award.
Accordingly, the following conditions shall apply in respect of those employees employed under the Retail Instore Bakehouse Award as at the operative date of this clause:
40.1 Hours of work
40.1.1 Bakers and apprentices
40.1.2 Bakehouse assistants
40.2 Shift work
40.2.1 Bakers and Apprentices may be required to work their ordinary hours on shift work. Shift work means work performed when an employee commences ordinary hours between 12.01 a.m. and 5.00 a.m. Monday to Saturday.
40.2.2 An employee who works shift work shall be paid a 30% shift penalty for all ordinary hours worked on any shift, including those hours worked after 5.00 a.m.
40.3 Call out
40.3.1 An employee who is recalled to work overtime after leaving the employer’s premises must be paid for a minimum of four hours work at the appropriate overtime rate.
40.3.2 An employee recalled to work overtime in accordance with this clause is not obliged to actually work four hours overtime if the work can be completed in less than four hours.
40.3.3 This clause does not apply where overtime is continuous with the commencement or completion of ordinary hours for the employee. The fact that a meal break intervenes between overtime and ordinary hours does not render the work non-continuous.
40.3.4 This clause also has no application in cases where it is customary for an employee to perform a specific job outside ordinary hours.
40.4 Rest break
Every employee shall receive an eleven hour rest break between the end of one day’s work and the commencement of another day’s work.
40.5 Annual leave

40.5.1 4/52nds of their total annual earnings in the twelve month period immediately proceeding the date on which the right to take annual leave accrued; or
40.5.2 ordinary time rates prescribed under this agreement for the period of leave, plus 17.5% of that sum, whichever is the greater.

With respect to such employees, it is understood that this structure of junior wage rates will continue to apply while they remain junior employees.
